MISSION CRITICAL
Dear Colleague, Over 50 years ago, RK started from humble beginnings as RK Mechanical, a specialty mechanical subcontractor hired by general contractors to fabricate and install HVAC, plumbing and piping on major construction projects. RK is proud to have contributed to the construction of many successful high-profile projects around the world. When I took the reigns as CEO, my vision was to forge new paths by expanding RK’s core capabilities into several diversified lines of business serving many industries. With the help of our team, that vision is becoming reality. Today, our integrated mechanical, fabrication and service skills are the power behind seven distinct business units: Mechanical, Service, Water, Electrical, Steel, Energy and Mission Critical. RK’s diversification is not only the key to our success—it’s the key to our customers’ success. Construction, industrial and commercial customers can rely on us to fulfill many project requirements. This reduces the number of subcontractors—and headaches. Our business units work together toward a unified goal: Get the project done at the highest quality, on time and on budget. Our dedicated team of over 1,000 employees boasts a wide array of trade skills and can fulfill nearly any project or service request. Our staff knowledge, financial stability, world-class fabrication facilities and strict quality controls all unite in one promise: RK will serve every customer as a trusted partner that can handle any type of mechanical, fabrication or service request, no matter how small and simple or large and complex. We hope you enjoy learning more about RK. Sincerely,
Rick L. Kinning, Chairman | Chief Executive Officer

RK MISSION CRITICAL Data requirements change quickly. Now your facilities can too. RK Mission Critical is a custom fabricator that constructs highquality data center facility modules in an off-site, indoor shop and then quickly assembles them at the customer’s site. The modules are self-contained, weather tight and only require utilities and network connections. We serve businesses whose core function is their data center, as well as data-intensive industries—like healthcare, finance and research—that recognize the value in operating their own data facilities. Our on-demand building block method gives customers the quality, and the level of customization, that they get with traditional on-site construction. Additionally, they gain the scalability to rapidly expand or decrease their data facilities to match changing data requirements. The portable modules can easily be transported and reconfigured. Customers benefit by only paying for the amount of space they need at any given time, which maximizes efficiency and lowers the cost of total ownership.
What We Offer • Capital preservation and lower total cost of ownership • Accelerated depreciation for tax benefits • Data center facilities that are fully self-contained, weather tight and only require utilities and network connections • Rapid deployment at the customer site • The scalability to add or remove modules like building blocks; this keeps compute space, power and cooling capacity continually matched to current IT demands • The quality and security of traditional construction, but with the mobility to transport and reconfigure data center modules as needed • Technology and vendor agnostic; you can choose any IT platforms or mechanical systems equipment vendors
